To install all versions of packettracer except 7.2.2, follow this guidelines: 1. Download the snapshot from this AUR. 2. Tar -zxf the packettracer.tar.gz snapshot (it creates the dir packettracer/ with the PKGBUILD on it). 3. Download the latest packettracer tarball from your Netacad account and copy it into the packettracer/ dir. 4. Create the package with the command makepkg (it creates a packettracer.pkg.tar.xz). 5. Install the package with either makepkg -i or sudo pacman -U packettracer.pkg.tar.xz.

Packettracer 7.2.2 are auto installable via run file, download it from netacad webpage and run it, you don't need this package.

@horaciohs, Yes, it's necessary, and no errors are shown on my terminal or log.

Nothing is being compiled anywhere. Speaking of which, shouldn't this really be a -bin package?

bkb commented on 2020-05-26 15:32 (UTC)

Neither make it automatic, in both case you have to manually compile

@bkb: you can change the source= yourself if you want to download the binaries from a non-official location. Or, as you say, just install it from Cisco and lose all the advantages a package manager gives you.

The principle of a package manager is to automatize updates, if you didn't give any way to automatize this installation it's basically useless, it's just installing from Cisco with extra steps

packettracer 7.3.0-5 : as CodingKoopa said, every terminal are showing in beginning: bash: ./packettracer.sh: line 4: syntax error near unexpected token (' bash: ./packettracer.sh: line 4:if QT_VERSION > QT_VERSION_CHECK(5, 5, 0)'

Is /etc/profile.d/packettracer.sh necessary ?

runnytu commented on 2020-05-24 12:41 (UTC)

All fixed.

Can't you use one of the mirrors who publicly publish PacketTracer_730_amd64.deb on internet? So it will be fully automatic, I see plenty https://duckduckgo.com/?q=PacketTracer_730_amd64.deb

And if you're afraid use the website who also are on the libre domain, and do a checksum on what's downloaded

@bkb: read the pinned comment.
